What paint to use on seat belt buckles

I bought a nice set of seat belts off of ebay. However the buckles could stand to be repainted. Should I uses a satin or gloss black paint or would the SEM dye work

Not gloss, they are semi or satin. I used to use Krylon and they would come out perfect. They have changed their paint now, so I don't know. Sem dye would probably work also.

I think I will try one of each paint to see which comes out looking the best

John,
The SEM paint is the closest to the correct original texture and finish.
Basically, the original intent was to simulate a vinyl surface on those buckles which is what the SEM dye is for.
